Singer Melissa Etheridge rails against the passage of the gay-marriage ban in California—and she won't be paying the state a dime. - Derrick from Bookmarklet

This is a brilliant piece. I'd love to see the state try to prosecute for it. And sure she would love it too. - Michael W. May

He's not pulling any punches - Mike Doeff

Ouch. But he was right. And to be honest, Letterman hasn't been funny in a long time but it's good to see he's still got some fight left in him. - R. Alexander Spoerer

saturday inappropriateness ftw - mjc from Bookmarklet

one of my cats does this all the time too! - holly #ravingfangirl

Seems the McCain campaign seriously underestimates the power of web-based media. Let's hope it has tangible effects. - Adam Bohannon

One last share... 'nite, guys. :) I'll catch up with all your feeds tomorrow! - Mona Nomura

Sad thing is half of them are self described skaters or "bad" boys; I have one Q- How are you going to run from the cops with your crotch hanging around your kneecaps? Hold and run like your a woman and it's 1899? - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

Whatever. As long as they don't smell like funk, I dont complain. My standards were set to "low" after living with two guys. - ωαřмaiden ☆Team O'Otto☆

"At a press availability in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama said: "Back off these kinds of stories." "I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."" - sergiooo from Bookmarklet

+1 to Barack for this. Very classy. - Dave Roth

and then the question creeps in: do you fight it or do you sit back and take it? - Adam Bohannon

"The two women ... swing themselves deftly onto the wrestling ring that has been the focus of this afternoon's activity. Swiftly they remove their hats, unpin their shawls, and ... whap, whap, whap! Claudina belts Yolanda one, Yolanda slaps Claudina, Claudina tries to escape, but Yolanda grabs Claudina by her pigtails and spins her around, and WHAM! Claudina whirls through the air, petticoats and braids flying, and lands flat on her back on the mat, gasping like a fish. The audience goes nuts." - Nathan Rein from Mento

Am I the only one baffled as to why they called it "Creepy"? - Mona Nomura

"Companies will build two solar power plants in California that together will put out more than 12 times as much electricity as the largest such plant today, the latest indication that solar energy is starting to achieve significant scale. The plants will cover 12.5 square miles of central California with solar panels, and in the middle of a sunny day will generate about 800 megawatts of power, roughly equal to the size of a large coal-burning power plant or a small nuclear plant. A megawatt is enough power to run a large Wal-Mart store. " - Jason Wehmhoener from Bookmarklet

would be interesting to know how much fossil fuel and petroleum-based feedstock was needed to make that equipment - Nathan Rein

very good question, nathan. I'd like to know that too. - Adam Bohannon

Read McCluhan years ago and always remember his sound bite: "The medium is the message." - Melanie Reed

project mngt, supply chain/RFID, random thoughts - Peter Dawson

good question - many different categories at the same time I suppose. - Adam Bohannon

There's something so perplexing at how we probably do the exact same thing here in the US but deny it, where China is so hilariously straight up (about some things) - Eric Rice

Well, it's interesting to see the response. I won't overstep my expertise since my focus isn't China, but I would argue that lip syncing is viewed differently in both cultures. Differences in worldview associated with individuality and communality should be considered, IMO. (As if the opening ceremony wasn't enough to demonstrate this proposed difference.) - Adam Bohannon

I notice a lot of parallels between this authors screed on hipsters and a lot of the negative press the tech-set get. Anyone notice the same thing? - Steve Spalding from Bookmarklet

I'll definitely give it a look. Thanks for the heads up Mel. - Steve Spalding

Informative article, thanks for posting this. Would love to see some studies comparing neuronal activity of book reading to reading on the web. I was glad to see some mention of different forms of literacy - much needed in this sphere of discourse. Based on my own behavior I know most of my time spent on the internet is reading and writing, and since I work remotely that's usually 6-8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. I can't say if it's affected my offline reading habits, though. - Adam Bohannon
